Dancing with Danger

Why do some people seek thrills and adventure in the sky? This episode explores the extraordinary deeds of men and women that defy imagination. A wing walker takes us back to the days of barnstorming in rural Canada. The Snowbirds, ambassadors of Canadian aviation throughout the world, illustrate precision flying and the trust within a unit. We follow a woman as she goes through the extraordinary steps of conquering her fear of flying. And we meet airline pilot Robert Piché who glided his fuel-spent aircraft to safety sparing the lives of hundreds. Military and civilian test pilots put aeronautic flight systems though their paces and push to the limit so that others may fly safely. Dancing With Danger was directed by Cindy Banks and produced by Claude Berradelli. It will air on Oct 29th @ 8pm on CBC.
